It is a must to stop for any school bus with flashing lights on, as stated by provincial laws. Any vehicle driver should stop at least 20 metres behind a school bus that is stopped with its red light flashing. While different provinces have differing penalties, they usually have the following

• Fines (max $2,000 – $4,000)
• Demerit points
• Driver licence suspension for up to 30 days
• Conviction will remain on driving record for 3 years along with higher insurance rates

This is mainly intended to protect children and is taken seriously. To fight the charges to be imposed by law enforcement and the general court, the right legal team must be hired to win. A team of qualified and experienced paralegals, legal professionals and former police officers can help understand how officers making the charges enforce the law, and how the court would subsequently hear and process the case for best possible results.
